RSS FeedNew Cab Map Is Out !
We’ve all done it in the back of a DC cab. No, it’s not Cash Cab (that’s NYC) and get your mind out of the gutter (definitely not going there). We’re talking about leaning forward in a dimly lit environment, getting jostled around trying to figure out if the ride is going to be 2 zones or 3 zones. Did I cross Nebraska Avenue? Will I have enough money left over for a spot of McD’s fries? Hard to tell when looking at a crooked, faded, torn map that has ’80s written all over it.
DDOT has applied some spit, polish and shine to the DC Taxicab map (pdf) to make it easier to read. You may have seen this on other blogs like DCist but this breath of fresh air from the DC Government bears resposting. Now you can tell your friends in Glover Park that it is definitely cheaper to cab to your place in the Penn Quarter for a night out when compared to parking in one of the commercial garages.

DC Cab is one of my all time favorite movies. A comedy, in it Irene Cara sings “The Dream” and many scenes were shot on location in our neighborhood. Where the car detailing business is on the 500 block of K Street was the home of DC Cab in the movie. The buiding was painted light blue with dark blue trim and logo.
and bravo for the zone map. looks good.
